[Zope] rewrite rules

[Daniel M. Drucker]

I'm very confused.
If I attempt to move an apache rewrite rule from where it's referenced
in 'startzap' (in the -c ) into conf/zap.conf, everything breaks.
(Your browser sent a request that the server couldn't understand.)


All I want to do is this:

http://myserver/ is the root of zope.
http://myserver/whatever/blah is processed by zope.
EVERYTHING is processed by zope -- except for one thing:
http://myserver/dumbuser/   which goes to /home/dumbuser/public_html/


This works fine when I have this:

-c "RewriteRule ^/Zope(.*) $dot/../Zope.cgi\$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]"

in my startzap, and this:

RewriteRule ^/dumbuser/(.*) /home/dumbuser/public_html/$1

in my zap.conf.

However, I don't want to have to use http://myserver/Zope ...
so I do this:

-c "RewriteRule ^(.*) $dot/../Zope.cgi [etc etc etc]

And then the zap.conf rewriterule stops working.

Clues?
